Welcome back to the Discovery Museum’s DIY Science Lab, where we are exploring SPOOKY SCIENCE with some of our favorite Mad Scientists! Here are two simple and fun experiments you can try at home, as a SNEAK PEEK at Discovery’s upcoming Spooktacular )(October 28th) and our MAD SCIENCE WEEKEND WORKSHOP series!
